Our skin is glass is an on going series of still images mixing real footage with dig­i­tal ele­ments. Those images are rep­re­sent­ing a new kind of ter­ri­tory; they have their roots in the real world but are at the same time far away from it. They are sim­i­lar to mul­ti­ple layers of mem­o­ries dis­torted by the effects of time and space. They look like they are con­tin­u­ously chang­ing and evolv­ing, in a sim­i­lar way to our envi­ron­ment being reshaped, remod­elled and altered by our human activ­i­ties. Despite the ini­tial seduc­ing aspect of the rep­re­sented sub­jects, some­thing fast and vio­lent is hap­pen­ing, like an extreme heat turn­ing living matter into glass.
